Amazing escape for SUV driver Man unscathed after collision with semi near Langley-Surrey border DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
Dan FERGUSON/Langley Times
A witness speaks with a police officer following a collision between a Mazda Tribute and a semi pulling two trailers. The crash, which flipped the Tribute onto its roof, suspending the driver inside, happened at around 3 p.m. Tuesday. Both drivers escaped without serious injury, but traffic along the Langley Bypass was tied up for an hour.
The driver of a Mazda Tribute managed to escape almost completely unscathed when his small SUV tangled with a double-trailer Peterbilt semi at the intersection of Highway 10 and 192 Street near the Langley-Surrey border around 3 p.m. on Tuesday (Nov. 1). The force of the crash flipped the Mazda on its roof and sent it skidding into a utility pole, flattening a directional sign in the process. The Peterbilt dented its front bumper, but the big rig appeared otherwise undamaged. The driver of the Mazda, who asked not to be identified, remained at the scene to await a tow truck. He told The Times that he ended up hanging upside down, his head banging against the partly crushed roof, suspended by his seatbelt and trapped by the crushed driver’s side door until fire crews got the passenger side door open and extracted him. He escaped with a few small scrapes to his left arm and leg. When one eyewitness called the driver lucky, the man observed that he would have felt truly lucky if he’d managed to avoid the collision altogether. Still, he was grateful for escaping without serious injury and pleasantly surprised at the ability of the small Mazda to take such punishment. The crash slowed traffic along the Langley Bypass into Surrey for about an hour.
Routley area ‘abandoned’ by new school plans Why are we ‘not worthy?’ spokesman for area parents wonders DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
The news that the B.C. government will bankroll two new schools in Langley was nothing to celebrate as far as a group of parents in the Routley neighbourhood is concerned.
It appears neither of the new schools will be built in their area. “It’s a bitter disappointment,”said Pete Pretorius, who speaks for the parents who’ve been fighting a controversial land swap that would mean no school in their immediate area.
“They basically abandoned Routley,” Pretorius added. He made his comments after Premier Christy Clark announced an estimated $50 million in funding for two new Langley schools, including the purchase of land for one of them. It was part of a $353 million package for the fastestgrowing B.C. school districts. At the Monday Clark press conference, Langley Board of Education chairperson Sta-
cey Cody and Superintendent Cheryle Beaumont told The Times the district has been working hard to get funding for the new schools for about five years. Pretorius said it would have been nice if the district had devoted some of that time and effort to getting a school for Routley. “Someone just said [to Routley] you’re not worthy,” Pretorius said. “Did we do something
wrong that we deserved to be punished?” The land swap approved by trustees calls for the school site in the Routley neighbourhood to become a park, while adjacent parkland would become a townhouse development. In return, the school district will get property to build a school in the Yorkson neighbourhood of Willoughby. continued, PAGE 4

‘Rogue’ dials to 911 blocking legitimate calls Purse and pocket dialing endangers lives, E-Comm rep tells Township NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
Trousers and purses that make rogue calls to 911 are not only a nuisance but could also hold up a genuine emergency call to the E-Comm 911 dispatcher, the head of E-Comm told Township council last week. The calls are being made by cellphones which dial 911 when inadvertently jarred in clothing and purses. What is needed, said E-Comm president and CEO David Guscott, is a design change in mobile phones so that it requires a second step, such as depressing another key, to make authentic 911 calls. Guscott said that the five second target for answering a 911 call is achieved 95 per cent of the time. Hanging up achieves nothing, he said, because dispatchers are required to follow upon every call. Silence at the end of the line achieves nothing, because dispatchers know that there are times when the person making the call cannot speak. He cited a recent example in which two children, terrified when someone broke into their home, hid in a closet where they dialed 911 but could not speak to the dispatcher in case their voices were heard by the intruder. E-Comm, the emergency communications centre for southwest B.C., was created after the 1994 riots in Vancouver that followed the Vancouver Canucks defeat by the New York Rangers in Madison Square Gardens in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup
riot. E-Comm’s annual report for 2010 notes that the radio system was put to the test during the last year’s Winter Olympics, during which calls soared by 42 per cent in Vancouver and 34 per cent in Richmond. Dispatchers handled more than 38,000 emergency and non-emergency calls during the Games system, the highest traffic in its 11-year history. The system, Guscott said, was put to the test again when Vancouver lost Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final on June 15 this year. Between 7:45 p.m. and 11:45 p.m. that night, E-Comm received 2,000 calls, four times the normal volume for that time span. The system “performed extremely well under tremendous pressure,” he said. The Independent Riot Review Report said of the E-Comm system that it showed “that the investment in people, technology and infrastructure made after the ’94 riot has worked exceptionally well. It provides a perfect foundation for the operation of an emergency public information service.” As for those abandoned and accidental calls, education is key. “People often hang up (after an inadvertent call to 911),” Guscott said. “It’s the worst thing you can do.” More than 300 abandoned or accidental calls are made each day, and the issue of cell phones that automatically dial when jarred “is one of the facts of life in the phone-dependent world we live in,” he said.

Parents kept out of the loop One stabbed in Halloween fight by school district – Pretorius DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
The district and Township should have properly informed people about the decision to shift priorities, Pretorius said, and they should have mentioned it was a done deal when parents complained about the land swap. “They knew all of this while we were meeting,” Pretorius complained. At a June meeting with the board of education and Township council, parents were told growth has shifted
Mother-daughter duo Linda and Andrea
and Yorkson will need more classroom space. At the meeting, district staff insisted the Routley parents were advised about the change of plans years ago, while the parents maintained that they were never told. The district did tell some parents about the decision, but they were members of a Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) for residents who already had children in school. Most of the Routley parents did not belong to a PAC at the time, because their
children were not yet schoolage. Even though the Routley swap has yet to be approved by Township council, parents are getting discouraged, Pretorius said. “People are saying, we’re getting up early, we’re staying up late, we attend meetings and all we hear is blah, blah, blah.” The parents want the district to at least keep the land available for school construction in the future rather than remove that possibility forever.

Langley RCMP said the incident occurred around 11:23 p.m. Monday night (Oct. 31) in the park near the Langley Meadows Community School at 2244 Willoughby Way. Officers on patrol came across the victim, who was holding his chest and saying he’d been stabbed. The man was rushed to hospital, where he was listed in serious but stable condition.

Dave Cunningham of Telus and Bill Storie, bylaw manager for the Township of Langley, explain the impact of metal theft in B.C.
Province goes after metal thieves TOM FLETCHER Black Press
With copper trading at more than $3 a pound, thefts of phone wire have become a daily occurrence in B.C., and the B.C. government is tightening rules for scrap metal sales in an effort to stop it. Police say it’s not just power and phone lines being targeted now. Aluminum ladders, billboards, grave markers, street signs and even manhole covers are being stolen. Construction sites are targeted for plumbing and wiring. A bill before the B.C. legislature will require metal sellers to register for a “customer code” that must be recorded along with the description of any metal sold. The approach is similar to that taken with B.C. pawn shops, where operators must have transaction records to show police. Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond said the phone and electric grids are vulnerable, as well as 911 service, and she wants the federal government to consider new penalties for theft from critical infrastructure. “Good security and surveillance equipment doesn’t always stop the thieves from coming back again and again, especially when your metals are necessarily in remote locations, or distributed along hundreds of kilometres of roads,” Bond said. “Even though many scrupulous recyclers consistently turn away shady characters, somebody keeps buying, and
that has to stop.” Telus executive Dave Cunningham said 2011 has been a particularly bad year, with 325 wire thefts so far. The Fraser Valley is a “hotbed” for organized theft, leaving piles of insulation casings and in some cases downed wires across highways. Bill Storie, bylaw manager for the Township of Langley, said the Union of B.C. Municipalities supported his local bylaw to stem the trade in stolen metal, and the provincial action will help. Service to thousands of Shaw cable, internet and phone customers in Langley was disrupted last week, when wire thieves cut a major cable line running through a heavily-wooded mini-park near the intersection of Eastleigh Crescent and 56 Avenue. Shaw said the “backbone” cable was severed around 7 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 23. The company estimated 20,000 homes lost cable, 14,000 lost internet service and 8,000 lost telephone service. Service was affected in an area that stretched from Langley City to Aldergrove, and took more than 36 hours to be fully restored. It appeared that would-be metal thieves looking for copper wire cut the thick glass fibre line, then fled without taking it when they realized there was no metal. The City of Langley recently estimated it will spend as much as $150,000 repairing vandalized wires, 10 to 11 times what was budgeted.

What will inquiry cost, Green asks Ward NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
When the Oct. 24 Township council meeting drew to a close, anger erupted from the gallery. The target was Councillor Grant Ward, whose notice of motion calling for a committee of inquiry into Mayor Rick Green’s conduct was the last item on the evening’s agenda. But Green didn’t escape the wrath of some residents, as people also shouted at him. On Tuesday, (Nov. 1), Green issued a challenge to Ward: Tell taxpayers just how much the inquiry will cost taxpayers. Green said that he has asked Ward for three specific budget outlines: The cost of legal counsel representing the committee of inquiry, the cost of legal counsel for all witnesses summoned to appear before the committee, and an overall budget total for the inquiry. Green noted that Ward’s proposed motion calls for legal counsel to be retained “without limitation.” “Township council already has spent approximately $164,000
and growing for lawyers to write the Lidstone Report and advise individual councilors,” said Green. “And now Councillor Ward, ‘without limitation,’ appears to want to funnel even more taxpayers’ money to lawyers and law firms.” Responding, Ward said that there would be no cost to taxpayers for a committee of inquiry if Green “simply stands up today and tells us who wrote the anonymous letter.” The original cost would have been minimal if Green “had simply stood up and told the truth.” Ward said that council had even agreed to cover his legal costs. “Instead, we embarked upon a gambit of misdirection and misdeed that have cast shame on Langley Township.” He called the $164,000 already spent “a sad and tragic amount,” and said that full responsibility “rests solely and entirely upon Mayor Green.” Ward added that if Green “had simply admitted to his conduct and behaviour perhaps we could have moved on.” He added:“If he simply stands
up today and tells us who wrote the anonymous letter, given that it was either himself, or his campaign supporter and compatriot, unless you believe the story that someone broke into his office so that they could take the letter and provide it to his rural mailbox for his review, the matter would be at an end.” A report by lawyer Don Lidstone focused on Green’s conduct in resurrecting an issue surrounding a private company owned by the spouses of Township Administrator Mark Bakken, MLA Rich Coleman, and two realtors. He claimed he had received anonymous information which might point to a possible conflict of interest. The Lidstone Report concluded that Green misled council, staff and three lawyers. The matter was also investigated by police, and handed over to special prosecutor David Crossin, who concluded “there was no substantial likelihood of conviction.” Ward’s motion is on the agenda for council’s Monday, Nov. 7 meeting.

he Langley Little League team which competed in the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania in August is now part of what could be an even more important story. A drive is underway involving Right to Play, a charity which promotes sports in underdeveloped areas of the world, to raise funds and send the Langley team off to Uganda to complete some unfinished business. A Ugandan team qualified to go to the Little League World Series as well. It was the first-ever African team to do so. The team had been scheduled to play Langley in its first game, but visas for team members were denied by the U.S. State Department, apparently due to insufficient documentation. Anyone familiar with Africa knows that many people don’t have full documentation, in countries that have been wracked by war, poverty and disease. Uganda has had all three. The U.S. government was firm — it wasn’t going to let the team into the country. Ruth Hoffman of Vancouver, who has done microfinance work in East Africa, was immediately struck by the plight of this team, and decided to do something about it. She at first tried to get the Ugandan team to come to Canada, but then found out that a trip by the Canadians to Uganda would have many more benefits. The coach of the Ugandan team would like to showcase how kids there play baseball, and she got in touch with Right to Play, which immediately bought into the idea. It was promoted by Sportsnet during the recent World Series, and filmmaker Jay Shapiro, who was already making a film about the Ugandan team, has made a fiveminute video about the team for ESPN. A total of $155,000 is needed to send the Langley team off to Uganda in January, with $75,000 of that needed by Dec. 31. Already, more than $40,000 has been raised. In addition to travel expenses, the money will be used to provide baseball scholarships for the Ugandan team, funding for the Ugandan team to travel and development of baseball facilities there. The Langley ball players are learning a great deal about the complexities of international relationships — and how sports has the ability to surpass national differences. This is a wonderful story.

he Occupy movement spreading across the world has been nothing less than incredible. Politicians often like to refer to “grassroots” movements or support when they get out to a party barbecue. This, however, has truly been a grassroots movement. It comes from ordinary people who, to paraphrase Peter Finch in Network, are “mad as hell.” What are they mad at? The great divide. The old cliché of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. With everything seeming to move at exponential rates these days, the gulf between the haves and havenots seems to be widening. It’s ironic that we here in this country talk about the unbounded economic opportunities provided the burgeoning middle class in the world’s two most populous countries – China and India – while at the same time eroding our own middle class. Yes, we need the rich elite in the world to build our society. But real prosperity and political stability come from having a solid middle class. The U.S. led the world after the Second World War because it built a solid middle class. China and India are now looking to supplant the U.S. at the top of the heap on the strength of their middle class. It’s a lesson that we somehow haven’t learned. If there is a message from the Occupy movements, it is that more and more people, rightly or wrongly, are feeling that governments aren’t working on their behalf, but on the behalf of big business. Here in B.C. we need to only look at the 10 years of the Gordon Campbell government, which obviously felt its duty was to the corporate world first and its citizenry second. When governments lose touch with their citizens or, more aptly, when the citizens feel alienated from their ruling class, revolutions are spawned. Will the Occupy movements lead to change? Not immediately. However, while some political leaders sneer at the movement, astute ones will take heed. —Prince George Free Press The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Don’t jump to any conclusions Editor: Here we go again. So the divisiveness of the school board supporters continues. The first shot across the bow has been fired by Chris Olewinski (The Times, Oct. 27). Unlike the previous writer, I will clearly state my allegiance. I am in full support of Wendy Johnson and Robert MacFarlane returning to their seats as trustees. I know both of them personally and do not see them as one-sided trustees. I challenge anyone to name what actions Johnson or MacFarlane have made in their roles as trustees that have been aligned with unions over the well being of the district, or to show how they have defied any of the Auditor General’s recommendations. As Olewinski did not identify his sources when he stated Johnson wanted to dispose of the current board, be the leader and create
her own team, it is hard to know where he is getting his information. I actually read Johnson’s press release and watched her video. Her quote from her press release (The Times, Oct. 25) is as follows: “The huge school district debt resulted from the inattention of previous trustees and from poor internal controls and out-dated governance practices. We can change all that with a new board of trustees willing to provide real leadership. I’d like to offer that leadership.” I’m not sure how that matches Olewinski’s statements. What Olewinski also failed to highlight is Johnson has over 30 years as an educator and administrator in this school district, and numerous awards acknowledging her excellence in both. In addition, he missed out the fact that Johnson actually has a doctorate in educational leadership and policy from the
University of B.C. Perhaps that is one of the many reasons why she can speak to educational leadership. In closing, I would like to encourage all readers to question letters to the editor (including mine) before jumping to conclusions about the candidates. I also echo Olewinski’s recommendation to examine all candidates running. Attend all open forums and candidates’ meetings. Ask your questions and demand answers. These are the representatives we have a choice of selecting to shift our district into a positive stance. We need strong leadership in our school board to guide us through some tough years, as we climb out of a debt that was created from poor district management prior to 2008. Tracie Northway, Langley City
Green shows he’s a man of his word Editor. We only have to compare the record of Mayor Rick Green with his election platform to realize that he has come through as man of his word and committed to his constituency. We have all witnessed vicious adversity from day one by a majority of council, who were committed to throwing mud. Mayor Green has refused to get into the ditch with mud slingers, just kept silent and got the job done. We must not forget that the Township would now be victim to the Mufford Overpass and the HBC farm devastation, had it not been
Historic reminder Editor: As the municipal election approaches, I would like to familiarize Township residents with a portion of the Letters Patent that were issued when the Township of Langley was created on April 26, 1873. “If the warden (now known as mayor), or any of the municipal councillors, or any person on his or their behalf, shall enter into or obtain any interest, directly or indirectly, in any contract entered into by or with the Corporation, such warden or municipal councillor having any interest in any contract, or having become disqualified as aforesaid, shall immediately be disqualified from continuing to be warden or municipal councillor, as the case may be.” Gerald Tapp, Langley The
for the intervention of Mayor Green. He has well proven his commitment to the preservation of farmland and food production for future generations. His support from the community has remained at unprecedented high levels and now a fresh new team of independent thinkers bring new hope to a desperate Township. We need a council who will support a Property Endowment Trust Fund. This is an asset management tool presently successful in the City of Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and Richmond, and is worth millions of dollars.
This management tool will deal with the mismanagement of Township-owned property sales. Other cities realize a property tax benefit, however our present council has voted against a staff report endorsing a PETF, and then voted to increase our taxes five per cent every year. Why? We must pay for council’s costly $8.3 million blunder to pay for the Langley Events Centre somehow. Good luck, Mayor Green. Dean Holcombe, Langley
Negativity of council reporting unsettling to some readers Editor: The time has come when I no longer look forward to reading the local newspapers, as they are printing such negative articles involving the election. The lack of objectivity in both our papers is unsettling and such biased reporting appears unprofessional. In fact, I feel it affects the integrity of journalism. It has become more and more apparent that the members who wish to be re-elected as Township councillors are reporting nothing but derogatory items about the mayor, instead of stressing what good contributions they plan for benefit of the community. Why drag up old news at this time, and report comments which add to the question-
able values of the candidates making those comments? The lack of respect for the mayor’s office has made Langley Township the laughing stock of the Lower Mainland. We certainly look forward to more co-operation and respect among our elected representatives in the future, and hope to see their valuable time spent on important community issues.

NO FUN FOR US Editor: Trick or treat? On Halloween night, mail boxes and lights on our street (30 Avenue) were targets for some “fun,” and were vandalized. I wonder if these kids would have had as much fun the next morning, seeing my 70-year-old husband and others in the neighbourhood venturing out into the cold, and trying to replace and repair the results of their fun. I wonder if these were the same kids we have been supporting over the years with local fundraising. I sure hope not. I wonder if these kids will be the future Vancouver rioters. Name withheld by request
HOLY DYNAMITE Editor: Holy dynamite Batman, I think they actually tried using some Halloween night. The house shook, windows rattled, the dog nearly had cardiac arrest. So much for having laws which prevent fireworks. The night’s events indicate we can finally erase “common sense” from the English language. Really, if we can’t even keep the smallest of laws, I think society has failed miserably. I cannot wrap my brain around the enjoyment of listening to ridiculous explosions and scaring animals to death. I would like to see some of these barbarians charged with animal cruelty, because it is. Some people even think this is some sort of rite of passage to manhood. Some have the nerve to start using fireworks at the end of September. Manhood is when you respect the rights of others. I surmise it is far from over yet, as I’m sure these people have an endless supply of shock and awe. All I can say is,“no thanks” for another wasted evening, listening to my world exploding all around me. J. Cartwright, Langley

Violet got back in the saddle at 99 years W
hen Langley resident Violet Rumpel, who recently celebrated her 100th birthday, decided last year that she wanted to experience the freedom and joy of riding again, her daughter Karen asked Michelle Meacher, executive director of PRDA, for help. Violet frequently reminisced about her early childhood horseback riding days and of the love she had for her pony, a present when she was in Grade 1. “He was a nice pony, and smart. We would go to
school in the winter in a sleigh pulled by Ronie. In the summer, I would ride him bareback. I felt free as a breeze riding Ronie,” said Violet, who raised five children with her husband Ed, before moving to Langley. She told her daughter that she wanted to experience the feeling of riding and the freedom it gave her again while she was still agile and mobile. Thanks to Michelle, the then-99-year-old retired homesteader from Saskatchewan safely realized her dream of
sitting in the saddle again, and got to feel the wind in her hair while riding in Campbell Valley Park. “Michelle was conscientious and caring in her efforts to satisfy Vi’s dream. She consented to let Vi trot in the indoor arena with spotters to ensure her safety. Vi really wanted the free reins but we reminded her she would have to ride a few more times to build confidence and trust,” said Karen. Violet’s determination to ride at the age of 99 years

The seniors’ riding program at PRDA will be available to riders who have the approval of their physician. “Participants do not have to be super-fit.

The benefits of riding to seniors include increased joint mobility, balance, strength and coordination together with the psychological benefits of being around animals and getting out in the fresh air.

Physical activity has always been a part of her life. She learned to water ski in her 50s, and then to

Jack is welcome in City green waste A story in Tuesday’s Langley Times (What to do with Jack) incorrectly indicated that Langley City does not permit residents to include pumpkin in their green waste. In fact, leftover jack o’ lanterns may be discarded along with other vegetation in green bins in the City, as long as a household does not exceed its maximum of 40 pounds (18 kg) of green waste. Now that autumn has arrived, the City of Langley is also requesting help from residents in keeping catch basins clear to help prevent flooding.The combination of fallen leaves and rain at this time of year can result in clogged catch basins and localized flooding. Anyone who sees a trouble spot in their neighborhood is asked to take a few minutes to clear the leaves and other debris from the catch basin grates. Please report any clogged or damaged catch basins to the City’s Operations Centre at 604-514-2910 or through their website at www.city.langley.bc.ca.

Sportsman Sheel turns attention to politics Firefighter making his second bid for a Township council seat Dan Sheel is making his second run for a councillor’s seat on Langley Township council. He first ran in the 2008 municipal election. He is a 12-year resident of Walnut Grove and has been very involved in the sports community in Langley, in many different sports. A Surrey firefighter, he also ran as a federal Liberal candidate in 2004 in
the riding of Surrey North. He is finishing off a six-year term as a member of the Langley Township parks, recreation and culture committee. He has been involved as a coach and executive with ball hockey, baseball, hockey and basketball organizations. He was in charge of concessions for the 2010 B.C. Summer Games in the Township, and was in charge of volunteers in that area. He worked hard to ensure that local sports organizations were able to run concessions and keep any of the profits for Langley sports.
“I said to B.C. Summer Games organizers that we could take care of things in Langley, and we did. The money made needed to go back into Langley.” Sheel first got involved with Langley political issues during the debate over the 200 Street interchange at Highway 1. He said he was motivated to get involved because he could not understand why the proposed design was being considered. Sheel’s major issues of the campaign are infrastructure and transit. He says there should be no tolls on
the Port Mann Bridge, and is calling for a united voice from this area to make that point to the provincial government. He is calling for adequate resources for families and seniors, and also in the realm of policing. He also wants to see more infrastructure funding from senior government. Sheel is running as an independent, and says it is important to elect independent members of council. “We must elect independent thinkers who are able to work as a team for the good of the community,” he said.

Consult public about transit, TransLink told NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
Only weeks after Langley City agreed to pay $50,000 towards TransLink’s study for a transit exchange, Township council has agreed to contribute the same amount. But Councillor Charlie Fox told TransLink planning manager Jeff Busby that the public must be consulted. TransLink is proposing to prepare a Transit Exchange Concept for both the Willowbrook area and Langley City. Included is a plan for a bus exchange for the Willowbrook area. When the issue came before council on Oct. 17, council would not agree to Councillor Kim Richter’s suggestion to add Willoughby to the study. According to a report to council, TransLink has developed four concepts for the
Langley area, favouring the one which has frequent service from the west to serve Willowbrook and terminate in downtown Langley City, Other elements of this option support frequent service from the north terminating in the City, and services from the south, east and northeast serving downtown Langley City and terminating in Willowbrook. This scenario would require two exchanges. Buses serving Brookswood, Murrayville, Aldergrove and Fort Langley would stop at the downtown Langley City exchange, before going on to Willowbrook. Frequent service buses on 208 Street would terminate in downtown Langley City. A report to council stated that the study would be used to develop a concept and area plan for the Willowbrook Transit Exchange that would:
• ensure all transit services can be accommodated, and roads which would provide safe and efficient access to the exchange; * create high quality passenger environments; * integrate sites within 500 metres of the exchange for neighbourhood redevelopment; and * use cycling and walking networks to connect transit exchanges with surrounding neighbourhoods. Fox was adamant that the study involve “serious public consultation,” and not, as he put it to Busby, “Here, folks, this is what we are going to do.” TransLink will hold discussions with Township staff, Busby responded. “It’s the people riding the bus you need to consult with,” Fox said. The Township and City’s combined contribution of $100,000 accounts for one-third
of the total cost of the study. If the money is not forthcoming, Busby said, there will be no study. “Ah, so you’ve got us over the barrel, just like the two cents a litre gas tax,” said Councillor Kim Richter. Things grew testy when Mayor Rick Green said he was shocked that TransLink would be asking the Township for more money when, as the Township has often complained, it does not receive the level of service for which it pays. “I find it totally objectionable,” Green told Busby. This remark prompted Councillor Steve Ferguson to admonish the mayor, telling Green to treat Busby “with a little dignity.” Green and Councillor Kim Richter opposed paying the $50,000. Busby said that TransLink hopes to complete the study by the end of 2012. BEST BUY – Correction Notice

ACCIDENT WITNESS WINS "NERVOUS SHOCK" DAMAGES Accident victims who are physically hurt because of another’s fault are typically entitled to compensation. But historically, courts have been reluctant to award damages for pure psychological injury. Now, however, Canadian courts are awarding compensation for what the law calls “nervous shock.” The BC Supreme Court recently awarded $11,000 to a man who suffered post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after witnessing a gruesome accident on the Pattullo Bridge. Nicholas A was driving from his home in Surrey to North Vancouver, where he worked as a yardmaster for C.N. Rail. On the Pattullo Bridge, he saw a speeding vehicle behind him swerve into the opposite lane and hit a minivan headon. He called 911 and spent almost two hours at the scene helping the victims. He moved back and forth between the injured drivers, speaking to them, trying to comfort them, and indicating that help was coming. The driver of the minivan was hanging out the driver’s window and the minivan passenger was lying outside. Mr. A could also see flames that were put out by the fire department. When he finally went to the ambulance, he found that he had blood on his arms and he could smell the perfume worn by one of the victims. Both drivers eventually died, as did one of the passengers in the minivan. Almost a year after the accident, Mr. A suffered a panic attack at work. He was later diagnosed with PTSD as a result of the nervous shock he suffered at the accident scene, resulting in anxiety while driving, flashbacks to the accident and sleep difficulties for 12 to 18 months. The BC Supreme Court concluded that the estate of the driver at fault was liable for Mr. A’s nervous shock. In an earlier Ontario case, Dolores B also recovered damages for nervous shock after witnessing an accident. She
and her husband were driving on a rural road when a motorcyclist ran into the side of their car, bounced off the windshield and landed on the road. She then tried to warn another approaching driver of the injured motorcyclist on the road, but he didn’t see her waving her arms and ran over the motorcyclist. Mrs. B received $7,500 for her “post-traumatic stress reaction” (which included sleeplessness, a driving phobia, and constantly reliving the scene of the accident). Not all mental distress is compensable when a claim is made for nervous shock. More than “mere emotional upset” is needed. Damages are only intended for a recognizable psychiatric illness caused by the defendant’s carelessness, not just grief or sorrow. In considering whether a bystander who witnesses an accident should get compensation, the court must ask – Is it reasonably foreseeable that a person of ordinary fortitude or emotional sensibility would suffer psychiatric harm as a result of the defendant’s negligence? The plaintiff and defendant must also share a sufficiently close relationship so that the defendant owes the plaintiff a duty to take care. This typically requires the plaintiff to have been geographically close to the accident (i.e., present at the scene) or emotionally close to the injured victims (i.e., a family member) or to have developed the psychiatric illness soon after the accident. The law in the area of recovery for nervous shock is evolving – and may even extend in future to cover hearing terrible news.

Smart meter battle linked to globalization T he smart meter installation van arrived on my street last week, as BC Hydro’s smart grid project heads toward the halfway mark. This system will not only detect outages, electricity loss and theft, it enables a voluntary time-of-use system where users can get a discount by shifting consumption to low-peak times. You could even set up wind or solar generation that the meter would record and subtract from your bill. But apparently no one wants to talk about that. Black Press papers continue to run letters with exaggerated or false claims that stoke baseless fear of radio waves. Where is this coming from? I’m grateful to the anonymous smart meter foe who started sending me updates from “Citizens for Safe Technology,” a loose collection of U.S. and Canadian activists that claims to include doctors, lawyers and other professionals. Not much is professional about the Canadian content on their website. A video starts with a juvenile union parody showing executives plotting to sell BC Hydro to General Electric. Then it moves to an apparently serious interview with Bill Vander Zalm, who expands on his earlier conspiracy theory about the harmonized sales tax being part of a European Union plot for world domination. Vander Zalm asserts that smart meters and appliances

Coats go to youth in need Coats get lost, stolen, worn out, outgrown and then winter arrives and a replacement is needed. That is where West 49 comes in. Every winter, the staff and customers at West 49 provide the coats and non-profit groups all across Canada make them available to any one who has a need. Last year,West 49 contributed
a total of 14,628 coats for kids in need. This year’s goal is 16,000. This is the ninth year of the campaign. People interested in helping out can bring a clean, insulated winter coat to the West 49 store at Willowbrook Shopping Centre. In return, they will get $25 off any mens, ladies and youth winter jackets. The coat drive goes until Nov.
17. The Willowbrook store will donate all coats that it receives to Covenant House, a downtown Vancouver facility which helps homeless youth. It provides food and shelter, and also programs which help young people who are homeless to get a more solid footing in life. To find out more about Covenant House, call 1-877-685-7474.
Pastor recounts his return to life Pastor Emmanuel Twagirimana relates the story of his life, death, and subsequent return to life during the upheaval caused by the Rwandan war. During the 1994 Rwanda genocide, Twagirimana was struck by shrapnel from a bomb that hit his neighbour’s house and he
died. He now talks about his journey to heaven and hell during his death experience. He was miraculously brought back to life and sent to the world with a message. He speaks about the restoration and healing of his body, which was decaying after seven days of death.
His story has been put in a book, Seven Days in Heaven. Now a resident of Nairobi, Kenya, he is presently on a speaking tour in B.C. and Alberta. He will be speaking about his experiences on Sunday, Nov. 6 at 10 a.m. at Walnut Grove Lutheran Church, 20530 88 Avenue.

Jazz saxophonist Campbell Ryga is one of three performers who will give a free concert at Kwantlen Polytechnic University on Wednesday, Nov. 9, as part of the school’s Music at Midweek series.
Jazz up your lunch hour Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Music at Midweek program continues with a performance by a pair of faculty members. From 12:15 p.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 9, Juno Award winning and Grammy nominated jazz saxophonist Campbell Ryga and bassist Jodi Proznick will perform, along with pianist Chris Sigerson. The free concert offers both the public and Kwantlen students a chance to hear the professional musicians in action. Jazz is an art form that is built on generations of tradition, said Ryga, during an interview with The Times in 2009. Passing that along is a crucial part of, not just performing, but teaching, he said. “It’s not that young people don’t want to know, they’ve just never considered it. “I think that’s one of the reasons I enjoy teaching, because I love watching the light go on. The genuine curiosity that comes along after that is even more inspiring.”

Kirmac Collision at forefront of innovative technology NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
Airbags have long been a safety component in vehicles.
After that came back-up cameras. Then manufacturers added another safety feature: sonar sensors that sound an alarm
when a vehicle comes too close to another — a particularly useful element when changing lanes. Back-up cameras
and sonar sensors are also crucial, given the quietness of hybrid and electric vehicles. Twin these advances with hybrid vehicles
or the Nissan Leaf, the only totally electric car, and you’re entering the field of high-tech cars for which accidentavoidance and fuel
efficiency are key. However, there is a downside to energy efficiency and the newer safety features: the cost of repairs.

Kirmac Collision is at the forefront of innovative technology for repairing vehicles which today are significantly more sophisticated than they were only 10 or 15 years ago. Leonard Lassak is the vice-president of operations for Kirmac’s U.S. shops. Speaking from Auburn Wash., Lassak explained that the cars of the future will be constructed from hightech materials including ultra-high strength steel and carbon fibre. General Motors is even working on ‘smart’ materials, used for example on panels, that reshape themselves after an accident, he said. The leader in transportation models that use composite materials is Boeing, which has developed the Dreamliner, the company’s most fuel-efficient jet that consumes 20 per cent less fuel than the Boeing 767, a plane of similar size. Consumer demand for fuel efficiency is being enhanced further by tighter budgets and unstable global economic conditions.As gas prices rise and the trend towards cleaner energy rises, demand for electric cars will grow. And even though the safety features aim for the same thing: accident avoidance, collisions still occur.And that’s where the role Kirmac’s team of highly skilled professionals working with the latest tools comes in. Hybrid and the Nissan Leaf carry complex on-board computers, and Kirmac Collision’s repair specialists need to know how to fix the increasingly high-tech components and sonar sensors. Noting that the sonar sensor of a German import sedan is located behind the grill, Lassak pointed out that to repair or replace one could run as high as $5,000. On the other hand, back-up cameras used to cost around $200. Now they run at a mere few dollars each. “Our collision repair specialists pride themselves on keeping up-to-date with the latest vehicle trends.We need to be able to respond as experts when our customers need repairs,” Lassak said.

Technology in the tub Technology has made its way to hot tubs. People no longer have to run outside and pre-set the temperature or turn on the spa lights at night and then run back to turn off the deck light which had illuminated their path to the hot tub in the first place. Instead, hot tub aficionados can now control their Coast Spa from inside the comfort of their home with the touch of a finger. The spa operator can now adjust the temperature, purge the water by
switching on Coast Spas’ jet pumps and also affect the outdoor ambience by activating one of the many Coast Spas’ lighting packages through their iPhone, iPhone or iPad. The app is through Coast Spas’ Touch Therapy and is available free from iTunes. Once connected to the handheld device, people can monitor real-time temperature changes of your spa water as it constantly updates. In addition you can re-set and modify that temperature, activate jets and toggle lights on and off.

Langley Legion On behalf of Township of Langley Council, we wish to invite you to participate in a special tribute this Remembrance Day. The Royal Canadian Legion is asking all Canadians to pause on Remembrance Day. Radio and TV signals will stop, shops and schools, factories, and farms will be still. The silence will sweep across Canada like a wave as the clock strikes 11am in each time zone. There are also three local cenotaphs that will have organized services. Township Council encourages you to take time to think about war, about peace, and about those men and women who risked their lives to protect our freedom as well as to make the world a safer place for all of us.

Remembrance Day: We must remember. If we do not, the sacrifices of those hundreds of thousands of Canadian lives will be meaningless. They died for us, for our homes, for our families, and our friends. They gave of themselves for a collection of traditions Canadians cherish, and a future we all believed in. They died for Canada. The meaning of their sacrifice and their valor rests with our collective national consciousness.

The Langley All-Stars, a team of 11, 12 and 13-year-olds will be heading to Uganda in January on a goodwill mission through the not-for-profit group Right To Play.
Trip a chance to leave ‘footprint’ GARY AHUJA Times Sports
T
he email immediately caught the attention of Jason Andrew. The title was ‘Uganda’ and the sender was Ruth Hoffman, a woman unknown to the Langley baseball coach. Hoffman wanted Andrew’s baseball team, the Canadian national 11/12 Little League champions, to travel to Uganda on a goodwill mission. “She came across very sincere and very passionate,” Andrew recalled about meeting meeting her at a Vancouver coffee shop.“That caught me right away. When somebody is that passionate, you tend to listen.” Hoffman was proposing sending Andrew’s baseball team, the Langley AllStars, to Uganda to face the team they were supposed to have played in Williamsport at the Little League World Series. Uganda had won the right to represent the Middle East/Africa region but were denied visas from the U.S. State Department shortly before the August tournament because their documentation contained discrepancies. They would have been the first team from Africa to compete at the famed
tournament. Hoffman, now living in Vancouver, had previously spent time in Africa and was connected to the sport through her three sons. Two of them represented Belgium at the senior (15/16) Little League World Series in Maine. She also had existing contacts in Uganda through her work. “The feeling of knowing what it is like not to go, or to think they are not going and then read the story of the Ugandan kids, who come from a million times worse background, it just really pulled at my heartstrings,” she said. “I understand what the Ugandan kids went through (to qualify) and to not be able to finish that journey, would be pretty hard,” Andrew said. Hoffman came up with the idea to send the Langley squad after reading about New York-based documentary filmmaker Jay Shapiro. For the past three years, Shapiro had worked on a project focused on baseball in Uganda, called ‘Opposite Field.’ “What inspired me was how good they were, I was never expecting to find that,” Shapiro said. “Once I saw that, I knew it was a story I wanted to tell. “It tells the story not just of this team
but this small baseball community that we found that is amazing and inspiring and full of really passionate characters.” “I had no idea it would end up where it did.” After hearing Hoffman’s pitch, Shapiro was quickly on board. His documentary — scheduled to be released this spring or summer — will conclude with the All-Stars planned trip to Uganda in January. To help fund the trip, including covering the costs for the Langley team to travel to Uganda, the not-for-profit organization Right To Play was brought on board. In addition to the baseball, money will go towards legacy projects such as education opportunities through scholarship programs for Ugandan players, funding for travel to participate in international tournaments and/or funding to build a baseball diamond closer to where the players live. Even before he was approached with this idea, Andrew had wanted his team to leave some sort of legacy. “One day another team from Langley will go to the World Series and do very well; this is a legacy that can last a lot longer than the memory of what we did,” Andrew said. “We can extend that legacy and leave a footprint, not just in Langley, but
internationally. “If we help build a complex and get equipment, that will be passed on from generation to generation and hopefully baseball in Uganda progresses as a result of that.” The Langley players knew little about Uganda. One of the first things Ian Burns did was search the country on the internet. “It kind of made me sad because they don’t have shoes and stuff when they play baseball,” he said. Andrew recalled some of the pictures he saw online, especially of what passes for baseball facilities in some parts of the country. “That is what sold me, seeing what these kids practice on, and what they wear to practice; it is ridiculous,” he said. “They have bare feet and cardboard bags. “One of the pictures, there is cow in the outfield and they are practising.” In order to make the trip a reality, $155,000 is needed in fundraising, including $75,000 by early December. As of earlier this week, $40,00 had been raised, Hoffman said. To donate, visit www.righttoplay.com and click on the Canada-Uganda Challenge: Let Them Play!

line, Matt Bilmer found the end zone on the next play. Special teams made the next big play as Reagan Doucette returned a punt into Victoria territory and Kalen McMurchy scored two players later on a 27-yard run. Doucette then found the end zone himself with a 41-yard run and also sealed the scoring with an interception return of 109 yards. The Mustangs (6-3) close the regular season this weekend. With a victory, the team will finish fourth in the Vancouver Mainland Football League and would earn a firstround playoff bye.

Victoria got on the board with at touchdown to open the second half. But after that, Langley dominated the rest of the way, thanks to some key plays at crucial times. The first came when Kyle Campagna blocked a field goal attempt with Justin Brown recovering the loose ball. And while that did not result in any points, Campagna’s second turnover did. Kyle Griffioen and Brayden Norcliffe teamed up to strip the Victoria quarterback of the ball, which Campagna recovered. After quarterback Cody McMurchy ran to the one-yard

Spartans ready to tip off Times Sports
It will be a uniquely different style when the Trinity Western Spartans take the court for the Canada West basketball season. Last season, the men’s squad was one win short in their quest for a national championship, falling in the CIS gold medal game to the Carleton Ravens. But while last year’s squad was more of an inside-outside team, the 2011-12 Spartans will be more of an uptempo attacking style. “We have to play to our strengths,” said coach Scott Allen, predicting the team will be more exciting by employing fullcourt pressure, a lot of slashing and cutting and an ability to hit the long ball on offence. And while last year’s success was great, this is a new year with different players expected to lead. “Like everybody else, it is a clean slate and we have to pave our own way,” Allen said. The key will be finding consistency on the defensive end. “I think we can score with just about everybody, I don’t think that is going to be an issue,” he said. Kyle Coston and Calvin Westbrook, key cogs last year, are expected to take on bigger roles.
The Spartans open the season ranked eighth in the country. And by virtue of the program’s best-ever finish, Allen knows teams will be gunning for the Spartans. “I think everybody is going to be coming out to get us,” he said. “The guys have to understand we have a target on our backs.” ••••• A strong frontline will lead the Spartans women’s team in coach Cheryl JeanPaul’s second season. Joining returnees Holly Strom and Tiffany Olson is former SFU standout Laurelle Weigl, who has also played with the national team. “She has really upped our game in terms of her ability to create some scoring opportunities,” JeanPaul said of Weigl. The Spartans went 4-3 in the preseason, including winning a tournament at the University of Manitoba. The results leave the coach with optimism, “We still have growing pains to get through but I think we are moving in the right direction,” she said. “I think we have all the tools we need to be successful; it is just a matter of putting it together in time to make it work when we need to.” ••••• Both the mens and women’s teams open the season at home with a pair of games
against the Victoria Vikes at the Langley Events Centre. On Friday, the action gets underway at 6 p.m. and the next day’s games begin at 5 p.m.

A free seminar for athletes looking to secure athletic scholarships will be held on Sunday at the Walnut Grove Community Centre. “In British Columbia, we are extremely fortunate to be surrounded by many excellent coaches, programs and leagues,” said Bill Green, who runs the seminars. “Despite this, however, many quality athletes are going unnoticed by college programs that offer scholarships. “In my experiences as a parent, school administrator and coach it is evident that too many athletes and their families simply do not know how to align their busy lives to go about pursuing the athletic scholarship they have dreamed about for years.” Green’s son Taylor Green parlayed his athletic talents into the school of his choice and he now plays professional baseball for the Milwaukee Brewers. Sunday’s seminar is from 11 a.m.to 12:30 p.m. and is free of charge. It is open to both parents and athletes.

“I’m pleased that we won as it is a testament to our players on how hard they have worked this season,” said coach Graham Roxburgh. “After we gave up the early goal, we raised our intensity and increased our possession as the first half wore on and we just kept chipping away.” The Spartans (12-1-1, 37 points) have not lost since the season’s opening day. They edged UBC (11-1-2, 35 points) for top spot. “We accomplished a team goal to see if we could win the

Spartans dash Dinos’ dreams
Trinity Western was in Alberta over the weekend for a pair of games, a 2-0 victory over the Lethbridge Pronghorns on Saturday, and then a 2-1 comefrom-behind win over Calgary on Sunday. Tessa Miller scored for the Dinos in the third minute, but Nikki Wright tied the game in the 20th minute and Colleen Webber struck for the winner 10 minutes later. Alexi Foster set up the first marker, while the second came off a corner kick pass from Jennifer Castillo.
202 St
The road to the national championships will go through Langley this weekend. A pair of victories — which extended the Trinity Western Spartans women’s soccer team’s unbeaten streak to 13 games — clinched top spot in the Canada West conference. It also means the Spartans will host this weekend’s Canada West final four championships at Rogers Park. The top two teams advance to the Canadian Interuniversity Sport national championships at Montreal’s McGill University.

We held a Halloween Colouring Contest again this year, as we have for the past several years. Last week our normally business-like reception area was turned into a children’s playhouse with the walls literally covered with dynamic and extravagant pictures of a pumpkin; colored by children eagerly looking forward to Halloween parties and the traditional trick or treating that was sure to bring every single child a treasure trove of the most interesting and curious candies and treats imaginable. Every child that brought in their carefully crafted entry form got to select a treat from a large wicker basket. It was sort of a little preview of the exciting day to come. The pictures represented just about every available type of artwork that was possible with a set of well-sharpened crayons. Some were meticulously colored within the lines. Some were very eclectic with different coloring schemes that reminded me of the psychedelic sixties. Some, that can only be described as “nouveau arte” with little concern for staying within the lines and choosing esthetically pleasing colors, but, which showed the artist’s true excitement and passion for the upcoming celebration. I spent a lot of time leaning over the counter staring down at a very little person reaching up to turn in the results of his or her fertile imagination and staring with wonder at the basket of goodies from which they were allowed to take a treat. The whole thing was organized by our office administrator, Tamara, and, as she has done in the past, made the whole contest a joyful time for all. You would think that the kids would have had the most fun of all but I’m not sure of that. I think Tamara, and I, and all of our realtors had more fun with it than anyone. It was just a sheer delight for all of us to see and as the week went by I think that we got more excited than the kids. I want to say thank you to all the kids who entered our contest and thank you to all the parents and guardians who allowed and encouraged the kids to enter. You all made our contest so special.

This week we cleaned up the reception area and returned it to its proper business-like atmosphere and we returned to the business of our business. But I miss last week. It was too much fun to leave behind. It reminded me that there’s more to life than being an adult --- I wanna be a kid again and colour pictures --- just for a week! Stewart Henderson Managing Broker
